End-Of-Life

As per Nortel, “The Ethernet Switch 450 has been Manufacture Discontinued on March 1, 2007. Full support for the Ethernet Switch 450 will end on July 31, 2012”. The major effect of this on users is that software/firmware updates are NO LONGER available without a support contract through Nortel.

A straight-through RS-232 cable with a female DB-9 connector for the console port and the other end of the connector must have the appropriate connector for the serial port on your (the FE’s) computer.
